held, and one more pleasant and favorable
in all respects could not be desired
When returning home, driver of a We
hicle belonging to William Irvine, contain
ing four persons, turned little too short,
the wagon came near turning over and the
entire load was spilled. The horse became
frightened and ran through the crowd,
tearing a wheel off the buggy of gentle
man by the name of Hooks. The horse
ran three or four miles and endeavored to
cross the overflow. When about two miles
from shore his harness became tangled in a
wire fence, and the animal would have
drowned, had not a man by the name of
Morrison swan his horse out and rescued
him. As it turned out neither the carriage
nor the animal were injured.
A couple of military gentlemen who
started for the coursing match early in the
morning, with what was recommended TO
them as a three-minute horse, did not
arrive On the grounds until the races were
nearly over. The horse baked. One led
the animal the entire distance from the
American river bridge, which is a Long
way, and the other says that Neary red
cent will he pay to that livery man, for
such piece of horsef1esh.
